Has anyone else been drooling over Herve Leger's bandage dresses? I often think that there is a fine line between sexy and slutty when you are choosing a curve-hugging dress and I think that Herve Leger's dresses manage to be both classy and sexy - you could wear them to a dinner party or to a nightclub. Oh, my heart aches for one...

I will be at the bf's aunt & uncle's home tomorrow enjoying a delicious meal with his huge extended family. My favorite event of the day will be the wine tasting contest where each individual family has to taste test wines to determine what is what..whether I win or not, I will definitely enjoy the tasting :)

Here's a few photos that made me think of Thanksgiving (especially the colors in the L'ouverturede theatre editorial)...I hope you all have a wonderful day and eat lots of yummy food (even if you do not celebrate Thanksgiving)...

I came across some photos from photographer Hugh Lippe and found them so stunning, I had to share. I love how he seems to capture the women as young, wild, and free, creating a feeling of nostalgia for a nomadic summer with your girlfriends...

This picture pretty much epitomizes my ideal outfit...ok, yes I would most likely not step out of the house in that exact outfit - but I am inexplicably attached to the concept of it. I love how it mixes an ethereal romantic look with grunge creating a fashion statement that is undefinable (unless ethereal romantic/grunge counts, which I don't really think it does), but is definitely worth talking about.

I have basically been living in this RVCA haze dress ever since it arrived on my doorstep and am so enamored with it, I felt compelled to share.

Not only does it satisfy my zipper obsession with the zipper up the front & zippers on the pockets, but it is one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own and have found myself throwing it on again and again. I love the fact that I can completely change the look of the dress by what I wear underneath it and the shoes I wear with it.

Going through my inbox the other day, I see an email with the word "madness" in the subject line. I think it is probably spam and am just getting ready to click delete when my curiosity gets the better of me and I open it instead. To my surprise, it is an email from an Indonesian designer with a lookbook attached containing photos of a unique, interesting, and beautiful accessory collection called Project Madness.

Last year three young designers, Ajeng Dewi Swastiari, Bonnie Natasha Arif, and Agnes Stephanie Cathykana (all in their early twenties) started a design project called madness. Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, their first collection, Madness of Heritage, is a tribute to their culture.

Since I know we all can't resist big, bold, and excessive accessories, I think you will want to get your hands on this collection as much as I do...
